Chinese $66.48 This general introduction to the study of Chinese traces the language’s history from its beginnings in the second millennium B.C. to the present, and provides a clear picture of the contemporary language and its sociolinguistic status. Chinese, in its numerous dialects, has more speakers than any other language in the modern world, and this vast extension in time and space brings to its study an exceptional complexity. Nevertheless, Norman’s crisp organization and lucid elegance make this extraordinary range of material easily accessible even to those with an elementary understanding of linguistics. Chinese includes information on the genetic and typological connections of the language, the writing system, the classical and early vernacular tongues, the modern language and non-standard dialects, and the history of linguistic reform in China. |

A History of the Modern Chinese Army $17.5 Xiaobing Li’s comprehensive examination of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) offers new insights into the military’s central place in modern Chinese society. A History of the Modern Chinese Army goes beyond the usual Western assessments of the Chinese military ‘threat’ and also expands on the politically constricted scholarship of native Chinese military historians. Li offers a sweeping yet thorough study of modern Chinese armed forces in the context of the nation’s cultural traditions, its Communist revolution, and recent technological innovations that have radically transformed all aspects of Chinese society. Grounding the text in both newly released archival documents and the personal testimonies of over two hundred PLA soldiers, Li adopts military modernization as his central theme. A History of the Modern Chinese Army links the modernization of the military to China’s rapid growth as a major industrial producer and its growing power in the international economy. Openness to political reforms is necessary, he argues, to ensure China’s continued progress toward building one of the world’s most advanced professional military forces. Li’s analysis thus sheds new light on China’s achievement and maintenance of its current status as a rising global power. |
